The Financial Times reports that 63-year-old Malcolm Calvert, a former partner at UK stockbroker Cazenove, is facing an insider dealing prosecution by UK market regulator The Financial Services Authority. Calvert is due in court Thursday. The case is not believed to relate to any activity at his old firm.

MarketWatch reports that Citi has come out again and insisted that it has no intention of breaking up the company. Following calls last week from the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees' Pension Plan that Citi's board do just that, firm CFO Gary Crittenden said: 'We don't think a split of the company is a right way for us to go'.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Credit Suisse posted its second-quarter profits Thursday. Net profit for the period came in down 62% at $1.17bn, but the investment banking unit returned to profit  ($270m). Firm CFO Renato Fassbind told journalists on a media call: 'We are well-positioned for challenging markets......As some of our competitors question their business model, our strategy is clear (the 'One Bank' model)'.

The Financial Times reports that Goldman Sachs has raised some $10bn to invest in loans financing leveraged buy-outs.

Finally, Bloomberg reports that, according to the Monetary Authority of Singapore, hedge fund assets in Singapore over doubled to $59bn as at the end of 2007.
